Photography PhDs and Research Degrees

Doctoral and research degrees where an official university page explicitly supports photography research or practice-based research.

PhDs and practice-based research Master’s degrees

A research degree is not a training program. Admission normally requires a research proposal and a supervisor; confirm both with the university.

Results are listed alphabetically. There is no price ranking: prices in different currencies and bases (per credit, per term, per year, whole program) are not comparable. Online programs are never counted as physically located in a state or city. Items marked Sponsored are paid placements; they never change recognition status, verification or order.
